iConfess vs Confessio

Confession is such an important sacrament for us as Catholics, and yet it can be intimidating and difficult to go to regularly. iConfess was designed to break down these barriers so that we can benefit more often from this wonderful sacraments and lead lives of holiness. Confession can be intimidating: Confessing your sins to priests is hard and nerve-racking, which is why iConfess walks you through how to make a good confession. Part of this includes completing an examination of conscience, so that you can include all the sins since your last confession. Confession can be hard to find: Often times, we aren't familiar with the confessions times at the churches near us. iConfess allows you to easily find churches near your location, and shows you the relevant confession or mass times, according to your preferences. Confession can be difficult to do regularly: Sometimes we can go months or years without confession because we simply never get around to it. iConfess provides the ability to set reminders to create a variety of spiritual habits, including going to confession regularly. The goal of all of these features is to enable every Catholic to dive deeper into the sacrament of Confession, so that they can receive forgiveness and continue on their path to sainthood.

Prepare for Catholic confession with Confessio: a private examination of conscience, a list of what you want to say, and a step-by-step guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. HOW YOU PREPARE • An examination for your state in life – add profiles for teenagers, young adults, adults, seniors, single people, married couples, parents, priests or religious. Their questions join the Ten Commandments, so you see what truly applies to you. • A children’s examination – simple questions for ages 7–12, for parents and catechists preparing a child for confession. • The seven capital sins – the same questions grouped by the roots of sin, as another way to examine yourself. • Three ways to prepare – a 2–4 minute daily check, the full examination, or “I’m going to confession today”: five steps of prayer, examination, reviewing your list, contrition and the words to say. • Guided or checklist – answer one question at a time or scan the whole list, and search it by any word. Add a point, mark it with “?” to ask the priest, and note how many times something happened. • Read it quietly in the confessional – a dark, large-print view that keeps the screen on and fills in how long it has been since your last confession. Tap each sin once you have said it. • In your own words – add anything the examination doesn’t cover, and edit it later. ALSO INCLUDED • A step-by-step guide to how confession works • Prayers before and after confession, the Act of Contrition, Psalm 51 and a prayer on mercy • Gentle help for an anxious conscience (scrupulosity) • Optional confession history; monthly supporters can opt in to private insights about recurring examination items • Reminders weekly, every two weeks, monthly or on First Friday, and before Easter and Christmas • App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode • 13 languages, works fully offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you enter stays only on your device and is kept out of iCloud backups.
